Chapter 45 - A Little More

*Justin'sPointOfView*

I haven't seen Charlotte in over a week, she said she needed time to think and clear her mind. She wanted to be alone for a while, I know she told the nurse to call her instead of me so I'm dreading that maybe she got bad news and that's why she's staying away and taking time but I know for a fact that part of the reason is that Lucas was here. They've left now, it was amazing seeing them and spending time with the kid, he's cute and funny. Whenever everything is going wrong I know I can count on that little family to keep me sane. Josh is like a brother to me now we've gotten really close and I know Laura appreciates that. He's good to her and that's all that I can ask for.

Since Charlotte won't be back home- to my home, for a couple of hours yet I might as well clean up.

Making my way to Charlotte's room I go to the bathroom and make sure the little mirror cupboard is stocked with everything she needs.

Shampoo

Conditioner

Soap

Toothpaste

Toothbrush

Hair brush

All of her crazy face washes and lotions

And a bottle of pills.

Hold on, pills?! What the fuck! Picking up the little bottle I read the label.

Liam Maxwell

Morphine Tablets

No, no she can't, she wouldn't.

Pacing around the living room I wait for Charlotte to get in so I can talk to her about this shit. It'll probably end with me screaming at her but that's her own fault. I can't believe she would do something so stupid.

"Justin?" I hear her call

"Yeah?" I turn to face her hiding the pills in my pocket

"I missed you a lot" she smiles hoping over to me

"I missed you too" I wrap my arms around her small frame

"What's wrong?" She asks looking up at me

"Nothing" I fake smile leaning down into her soft lips "can we talk?"

"I was about to say the same thing" she lightly chuckles. Why would she want to talk to me?

"You first" we both say at the same time

"You can go first" she sits on the couch and I follow sitting next to her

"Are you taking drugs?" I ask, there is no point in sugar coating anything here

"What?! No of course not Justin, how could you even think that!" She snaps

"What's this then?" I ask getting up throwing the pill bottle on the couch

"Th-they're not mine" she gulps making it obvious that she's been taking them

"I know they're not yours, they're Liam's, so what the fuck were they doing in your room?" I raise my voice, I have to.

"I don't know Justin I promise I haven't-"

"Don't bullshit me and tell me the truth!" I scream involuntarily at her and she flinches tears pooling in her eyes

"I took it once because the pain was really bad J and they made me numb I liked that I liked being numb I've only taken them a couple of times I swear it" she is quick to defend herself in this case

"A couple of times?" I laugh at her stupidity "do you not realise how strong these pills are?!"

"I'm sorry! I didn't think you would find them" she cries
